That's about one 21 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: hundred and eleven billion, which means if it goes through, 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: but hold on that, hold on, that Paramount will pay 23 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: something like five billion a year towards their debt, only 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: towards their debt people getting fired, folks.

I think it's a 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: slight red flag. 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 4: I had pitched guys a while ago that I felt 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 4: like Warner Brothers had always been seeking out Paramount as 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 4: a deal and that they wanted to do the Netflix 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 4: pot to kind of make it look less like a monopoly. 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: I was disbelieving I had I had left that theory 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: in the past. But some of the reporting around this 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 4: Ted Surrounder's being invited to the White House, Trump not 36 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 4: being there, Pam Bondi being there, and this happening wild 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 4: Ted was at the White House, and this whole notion 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 4: that Paramount's going to pay an extra. 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: Three billion dollars to pay off Netflix. 40 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: It's giving slight, slight Hollywood accounting, let's put it that way. 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: I can't promise anything, guys, but it's looking to me 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: a little bit shady. But we always knew this deal 43 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 4: was going to be a little bit shady with the network. 44 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: Former Obama official Susan Rice who is on the board 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: of Netflix, went on a tire aide warning corporations. This 46 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: was about the Paramount merger, but it was also about 47 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: other things, and it was about you know, various other 48 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: strong arm tactics that the Trump administration has done in 49 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: order to get various companies to the entities that they 50 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: want them to go to, notably CBS going to Paramount 51 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: and TikTok on the Paramount. Susan Rice basically said she 52 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: warned corporations about taking a needa Donald Trump and basically said, listen, 53 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be president forever, and you better save 54 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: your documents because when another party gets in there, there's 55 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: gonna be investigations. If there's any double dealing, any kind 56 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: of wrongdoing. You think Netflix just got small, there's gonna 57 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: be accountability. Now that's Susan Rice on the board. Now 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: I don't just you. 59 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: Know, maybe you're right, but I you make a good 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 4: point because I believe as well that part of what 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, at least there are rumblings that he wanted 62 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: Susan Rice off the board. 63 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: So well, he's been very Yeah, he's been very loud. 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: It's been very loud about it. So I think you're right. 65 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: It's like, I think that while I do think that 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: David Zaslav and Larry Ellison and David Ellison have probably 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: been having lunches dreaming about this since twenty twenty, allegedly 68 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: in my head, I'm not saying that has happened. 69 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: I think you're right. 70 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: I actually do think there is also an element of this, 71 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 4: especially even from the quote that Ted's. 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: Around Us gave, where I think Netflix kind. 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 4: Of also saw this as a oh shit, we can 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: back out, like thank god. 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Yes, I think that's the case as well. 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: Their stock has tumbled since this was announced because everyone 77 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 4: started saying, well, is this is this a monopoly? Is 78 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 4: it going to be a problem? It did not go 79 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 4: well for them business. 80 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: Wise, well, as we said, like this is the funding 81 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: for this buy is? First of all, Netflix's deal was 82 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: an all cash deal, but that would have been a 83 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: tremendous outlay for the streaming giant, and of course shareholders 84 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: were like fuck, you know, like it's wouldn't be It's 85 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a less profitable business going forward if they 86 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: buy this. So you know, Netflix's shares are up ten percent. 87 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Their shareholders love that they're not buying it. It's was 88 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: really the least bad of available options for them to 89 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: buy it. 90 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, the funniest thing to me is I 91 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: saw a lot of really good tweets. I think written 92 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: by Hannah is one of my favorite tweeters, did a 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 4: really good one where it was like, I can't believe 94 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: Netflix put me in the position to root for a 95 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: corporation and then let me down, like if that was 96 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 4: going to be there. 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: But it's funny. 98 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: It was always going to be bad. This is also 99 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: going to be bad, probably worse marginally. 100 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 4: But at the same time it's in a way there 101 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: is a positive aspect of it not being Netflix, which 102 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: is simply that Netflix can then hopefully exist slightly outside 103 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: of what is essentially going to become a state media program. 104 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 4: What I'm very interested in and what I do think, 105 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: as I said, I if this goes through, I try 106 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: to work for them. 107 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: It's like I'm in it. 108 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: I do work for them. 109 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: No, well, I know I also do. 110 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 4: I've I've considered this much about, you know, writing for DC, 111 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: what that future of DC Comics looks like. Future that's 112 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: obviously a big thing, future of HBO. What I really 113 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 4: love is is the Ted Sarandos, and I did put 114 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: this in the comments of our own discord of our 115 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 4: own chat that we. 116 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: Message each other and the producers and. 117 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: Stuff, where I was like, look, you never have to 118 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: hand it to Ted Sarandos, But in this case, I 119 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 4: was very happy about the quote that he put out 120 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: because I do think it brings a little bit more 121 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 4: of that mentality, which was at the price required to 122 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 4: match Paramount's Skuydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer 123 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 4: financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramounts 124 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: guidance big. We believe we would have been strong stewards 125 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: of Warner Brothers iconic brands, but this transaction was always 126 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 4: a nice to have at the right price, not a 127 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 4: must have at any price. We never hear execs talk 128 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 4: like that because everything is about growth, growth, growth, consumption, consumption, 129 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: And I think this is kind of a reminder that, yeah, obviously, 130 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: who doesn't want to own Batman that is like the 131 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 4: biggest Superman. They want to own these huge ips, they 132 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 4: want to own these movie studios, they want. 133 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: To make stuff. 134 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: But Netflix also already has like K Pop Demon Hunters, 135 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: like they have a popular superhero brand that's a four 136 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 4: quadrant brand, that's about to decimate, the that's gonna have 137 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: a cinematic release for its sequel, All the toys are 138 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 4: about to hit.

I gotta say, this is a truly 390 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 3: a storyline from hell. 391 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 4: The reason we need to talk about it is because 392 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 4: this is an active choice to go and make a. 393 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: Movie an Is it any surprise that this is what 394 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: you do when you kind of like disgraced yourself. Majors 395 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: was amends was convicted of assaulting and harassing his former girlfriend, 396 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: which you know, derailed his ascending career at that. 397 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 4: Time, especially because also there was a lot of other 398 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 4: corroborating stories from over a decade of bad behavior on 399 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 4: set and stuff. This is going to be a movie 400 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 4: directed by a director who previously was best known for 401 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 4: directing a school shooter action movie, and which was produced 402 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 4: by the same person who was producing this, who was 403 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: part of a kind of upstart Texas indie film space 404 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 4: that was then revealed to be rife with like sexual 405 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 4: harassment and abuse on set. 406 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 3: So just bad stuff all around, guys. 407 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: And the fact that this was run in any major 408 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: trade really worries me because I think the Daily Wire 409 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 4: should essentially be ignored, as most of their projects are. 410 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 4: They've made movies with Armie Hammer, they've made movies Gina Carano, 411 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 4: none of them get this kind of coverage. But I 412 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 4: do understand that this is his first it's an industry story. 413 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's important to realize that 414 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: this is this is a force in culture, not an 415 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: important one. Certainly on minor force. But I don't know, 416 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: I don't know how, Yeah, it exists. I don't know 417 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: what the box office of Gina Corano's picture with the 418 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: Daily Wire Films or or noted cannibal fan Army Hammers was. 419 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: But all of which is to say, and I'll repeat 420 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: the thing that I texted in the in the group 421 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: chat when this story came across our transfom.

There was no conversation about that. And all 486 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: in all. 487 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 3: Up, yeah, this is about this is about the terrible. 488 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 4: And I will say as well, Look, I personally do 489 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 4: not think that Davidson had particularly good people around him 490 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 4: in this situation, because I do think that the first 491 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 4: comment could have been his first apology could have been 492 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 4: a lot stronger. But there was an incredible piece that 493 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 4: I want to find. I believe it was by his 494 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 4: name is Jason Okunday, and he wrote an incredible piece. 495 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 3: That is the one I am sharing. 496 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: His black writer who wrote this piece that said, I 497 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: was at the BAFTAs and while hearing the N word 498 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 4: was unsettling, all anger should be aimed at the BBC. 499 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 4: And he basically breaks down how at the beginning there 500 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 4: was kind of an introduction to John and throughout the 501 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 4: entire night they all heard different slurs, but that one 502 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 4: was like very painful obviously, and it was you know, 503 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 4: there was no conversation around it. The Bafts dealt with 504 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 4: it horribly, and then they essentially basically just let the 505 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 4: Internet devolve into this really racist, awful conversation that put 506 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 4: everyone on the back foot. Yeah, I'll make sure we 507 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 4: linked to this in the show notes. But Jason's definitely 508 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 4: the take that I thought is really great because it 509 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 4: understands the intersectionality between black people and disabled people and 510 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 4: how there are lots of black people with turettes and 511 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 4: nobody seemed to want to go to them and have 512 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 4: this conversation, so they had to go on too threads 513 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 4: go on to Blue Sky. It was one of the 514 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 4: first weekends actually where I felt like that old Twitter 515 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 4: feeling where a bunch of really smart people came through 516 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 4: and were like, Hey, what the fuck is wrong with 517 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: the way this is being covered. Let's fucking talk about 518 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 4: it in. 519 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: A serious way. Yeah, it was. It was really awful. 520 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: Fuck the BBC for the way they dealt with it. 521 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 4: I mean, and if you guys don't know, the BBC 522 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 4: is essentially the British Broadcasting Company. With the BBC is 523 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 4: the same thing that made it really fantastic when it 524 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 4: was first created, which was essentially to educate, inform and 525 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 4: entertain the British public. Means that it is a government 526 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: funded TV channel, all of the BBC channels are, and 527 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 4: unfortunately under our right wing government that we've had for 528 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 4: like the last fifteen twenty years and still have sadly 529 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 4: under the current labor administration, it is essentially like a 530 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 4: state propaganda toll. It's been really terrible in reporting on COVID, 531 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 4: It's been really terrible on reporting on Middle Eastern conflicts. 532 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 4: It has been really terrible about the reporting on this 533 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 4: which very much centered solely seemingly on John Davidson and 534 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 4: his discomfort rather than on what Michael B. Jordan and 535 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 4: Delray Lindo, a British black legendary actor, were put through. 536 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 4: So this is very contextually in fitting with BBC and 537 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 4: unfortunately bafter though BAFTA has made a lot of steps 538 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 4: in the recent years to make their films more inclusive, 539 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 4: which is why you'll often see films winning the BAFTAs 540 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 4: that will never win other award shows. But this was 541 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 4: just such an abject failing and the media failed to 542 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 4: the media failed too. 543 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: On the next week's episodes of Extra Vision, we're talking 544 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: about some great movies we watched recently and our favorite 545 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: fantasy film sets in news.
